**[01:32] Arata**
*Everything was shrouded in total black.*
**[01:48] Arata**
*I have to take her hand.*
**[01:52] Arata**
*And in order to take her hand...*
**[01:54] Arata**
*Just for that purpose...*
**[01:57] Arata**
*I will...*
**[02:08] Arata**
Oh, Hijiri...
**[02:11] Arata**
Good morning. Breakfast?
**[02:15] Arata**
Don't you "Breakfast?" me!
**[02:24] Arata**
Come on... Are you still mad?
***SIGN*** Administer and Third Selection
**[02:27] Hijiri**
Don't you have something to say to me?
**[02:31] Arata**
Like, "I guess you've gotten a little bigger"?
**[02:33] Hijiri**
No!
**[02:35] Arata**
Why?
**[02:36] Arata**
Being bigger is a good thing.
**[02:38] Hijiri**
That's not the issue here!
**[02:42] Arata**
Look at that.
**[02:45] Arata**
You were such a sweet little
girl when you drew that.
***SIGN*** I love my big brother
**[02:50] Hijiri**
Why do you have a drawing
from that long ago?!
**[02:52] Hijiri**
That's just embarrassing...
**[02:56] Arata**
It's too late.
**[02:58] Arata**
I've already set your drawing
as the background on my phone!
**[03:04] Arata**
W-Wait! Time out!
**[03:07] Hijiri**
Wait!
**[03:08] Arata**
*My name is Arata Kasuga,*
**[03:10] Arata**
* and this is my cousin and*
* childhood friend, Hijiri Kasuga.*
**[03:14] Arata**
*There are some annoyances here and there,*
**[03:17] Arata**
* but honestly, I don't dislike*
* this uneventful sort of life.*
**[03:30] Hijiri**
The weather's great again today.
**[03:32] Hijiri**
I'm glad it's sunny out. Aren't you, Arata-san?
**[03:35] Arata**
*Huh?*
**[03:36] Arata**
*Is the sun...*
**[03:39] Arata**
I guess I'm just imagining things.
**[03:52] Lilith**
Awaken now, Arata Kasuga.
**[03:55] Lilith**
If you do not, I will have to kill you.
**[04:07] ---**
"All six armies refused to march,
leaving the emperor with no choice.
**[04:10] ---**
The fair maiden of slender eyebrows
died before the horses." This means...
**[04:13] (Flashback) Lilith**
Awaken now, Arata Kasuga.
**[04:22] Hijiri**
Arata-san.
**[04:24] Hijiri**
This is where you've been?
**[04:27] Hijiri**
What's the matter?
**[04:28] Hijiri**
You look as if you're deep in thought.
**[04:32] Arata**
Hey, Hijiri...
**[04:33] Arata**
Has the sun always been black?
**[04:37] Hijiri**
Huh?
**[04:39] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[04:41] Hijiri**
The sun has always been black.
**[04:44] Hijiri**
It was black when you were born,
and before you were born, too.
**[04:47] Arata**
Are you being serious?
**[04:50] Hijiri**
I am.
**[04:52] Hijiri**
That's the sort of world you lived in,
**[04:55] Hijiri**
and the sort of world you wished for.
**[04:57] Arata**
The world I wished for?
**[04:59] Hijiri**
Yes.
**[05:01] Hijiri**
A world where I'm there, and you're there,
**[05:04] Hijiri**
and where having fun every day is our way of life.
**[05:08] Hijiri**
So,
**[05:10] ---**
it doesn't matter if the sun is black, does it?
**[05:14] ---**
Here...
**[05:16] Hijiri**
If you stay with me forever,
**[05:19] Hijiri**
your own Hijiri will do whatever you want.
**[05:24] Hijiri**
Now, Arata-san...
**[05:28] (Flashback) Hijiri**
Don't forget me.
**[05:33] Hijiri**
What's wrong?
**[05:36] Arata**
Are you...
**[05:38] ---**
really Hijiri?
**[05:41] Hijiri**
Wh-What are you saying?
**[05:43] Hijiri**
I'm Hijiri. I am.
**[05:45] Hijiri**
I'm your cousin and childhood friend.
**[05:49] Arata**
When is my birthday?
**[05:51] Hijiri**
June 18th.
**[05:53] Arata**
What's my favorite food?
**[05:55] Hijiri**
Fried chicken.
**[05:56] Arata**
Where do I hide my dirty magazines?
**[05:59] Hijiri**
Under your bed.
**[06:01] Hijiri**
You still don't believe me?
**[06:03] Hijiri**
You know I would never lie to you, Arata-san.
**[06:07] Arata**
Then...
**[06:09] ---**
What color is the sun?
**[06:11] Hijiri**
Huh?
**[06:13] Hijiri**
I-It's black, of course—
**[06:15] Arata**
That's a lie.
**[06:18] Arata**
Then why did you draw the sun
red when you were little?
**[06:25] Arata**
Hijiri wouldn't lie to me.
**[06:27] Arata**
Who are you?
**[06:31] Arata**
Where's the real Hijiri?
**[06:38] Hijiri**
Oh, man, you got me.
**[06:40] Hijiri**
I see. I see.
**[06:42] Hijiri**
I didn't see that coming at all.
**[06:44] Hijiri**
I never thought you'd figure it
out from that child's drawing.
**[06:56] ---**
Hey, hey.
**[06:57] Hijiri**
That was quite the vicious greeting, mage.
**[07:02] Lilith**
So you've finally revealed
your true colors, cracker!
**[07:05] Arata**
You're the girl from this morning
with the outrageous boobs!
**[07:10] Lilith**
My name's Lilith Asami.
**[07:13] Arata**
Wh-Why do you look like you're dressed to kill?!
**[07:16] Lilith**
It should be obvious that this
is a mage combat uniform.
**[07:19] Arata**
Mage?!
**[07:22] Hijiri**
You have a vague idea of
what's happening, don't you?
**[07:44] Arata**
Wh-What is this place?
**[07:46] Hijiri**
This is the world you lived in before.
**[07:51] Lilith**
It happened about three days ago.
**[07:53] Lilith**
A large-scale gravitational fluctuation of
unknown origin was detected in this area.
**[07:58] Lilith**
We call it a breakdown phenomenon.
**[08:01] Lilith**
Swallowed up by the gravitational
quake, this whole town...
**[08:11] Hijiri**
You remember now?
**[08:14] Arata**
*That's right...*
**[08:16] Arata**
*A black sun...*
**[08:18] Arata**
*Its black light swallowed*
**[08:21] ---**
*all the people up...*
**[08:26] (Flashback) Hijiri**
Arata-san, take this.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Hijiri**
Please.
**[08:30] (Flashback) Hijiri**
Save Arata-san.
**[08:32] (Flashback) Hijiri**
Grant his wish.
**[08:34] (Flashback) Arata**
H-Hey, who are you talking to?
**[08:38] (Flashback) Arata**
What's going on?
**[08:39] (Flashback) Hijiri**
Try to wake up on time in
the mornings after I'm gone.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Hijiri**
Make sure you eat three meals a day.
**[08:47] (Flashback) Hijiri**
And keep the place clean, too.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Hijiri**
And...
**[08:51] (Flashback) Hijiri**
And...
**[09:01] (Flashback) Hijiri**
Don't
**[09:03] (Flashback) ---**
forget me.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Arata**
Hijiri!
**[09:08] (Flashback) Arata**
Hijiri!
**[09:14] Arata**
*What's going on?*
**[09:19] Arata**
*There's nothing here.*
**[09:20] (Flashback) Arata**
Where is everyone?!
**[09:22] (Flashback) Arata**
This is worse than a bad joke!
**[09:27] (Flashback) Arata**
Hey. If you can really grant my wish,
**[09:30] (Flashback) Arata**
then give me my normal life back right now!
**[09:39] Arata**
I created this...
**[09:42] Hijiri**
That's right.
**[09:44] Hijiri**
I was told to grant your wish,
**[09:48] Hijiri**
so I created this world exactly as you wished.
**[09:52] Lilith**
I was surprised, as well.
**[09:55] Lilith**
I was dispatched here by the school to investigate
**[09:58] Lilith**
this breakdown phenomenon, and I found...
**[10:02] Lilith**
There was a city here, where there
was supposed to be nothing.
**[10:08] Hijiri**
A simple feat for the likes of me.
**[10:13] Lilith**
A dangerous grimoire...
**[10:14] Lilith**
If you had failed,
**[10:16] ---**
the breakdown phenomenon would
have only spread further.
**[10:19] Lilith**
And you created another world...
**[10:23] Lilith**
That's not something a normal grimoire could do!
**[10:29] Lilith**
Make your choice, Arata Kasuga.
**[10:32] Lilith**
You can have that grimoire dispel
this fabricated world right now,
**[10:37] Lilith**
and I promise that you will be able
to live out your days peacefully.
**[10:42] Lilith**
However, we will dispose of the grimoire,
**[10:45] Lilith**
and erase all your memories of
Hijiri Kasuga and the others.
**[10:48] Lilith**
And your other option:
if you won't hand over the grimoire,
**[10:52] Lilith**
I will have to kill you here.
**[10:54] Lilith**
After all, it was you who wished
for this world to be created,
**[10:58] Lilith**
not anyone else.
**[11:03] Arata**
So if I want to live, I have to forget everything?
**[11:08] Arata**
And Hijiri...
**[11:12] Arata**
Hijiri?
**[11:14] Arata**
Hey! What happened to Hijiri?
**[11:16] Arata**
Where is she?
**[11:18] Hijiri**
She's alive.
**[11:20] Hijiri**
This form of mine is a shadow projection of her.
**[11:24] Hijiri**
A rift in space-time....
**[11:26] Hijiri**
Somewhere in this world...
**[11:28] Hijiri**
At any rate, she is, without a doubt, alive.
**[11:33] Arata**
Hijiri's alive...
**[11:36] Arata**
I see...
**[11:39] Arata**
I've decided.
**[11:41] Arata**
I won't hand over the grimoire.
**[11:43] Lilith**
What? You're...
**[11:47] Arata**
But I won't die, either.
**[11:49] Arata**
I'm going to pick the third option.
**[11:56] Arata**
So this is it...
**[11:58] Arata**
Royal Biblia Academy...
**[12:05] Arata**
This magic school sure is
in the middle of nowhere.
**[12:11] Lilith**
I can't believe you were allowed
to get away with that.
**[12:15] Lilith**
This has never happened before.
**[12:17] Arata**
What's the problem?
**[12:19] Arata**
Good to know you, Lilith Asami.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Lilith**
You're going to become a mage?!
**[12:26] (Flashback) Lilith**
Are you serious?!
**[12:28] (Flashback) Arata**
I am.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Arata**
Mages have grimoires, right?
**[12:33] (Flashback) Arata**
Which means I can become one, too, right?
**[12:37] (Flashback) Lilith**
I've never heard of that happening!
**[12:40] (Flashback) Lilith**
B-But it's true you were able
to create a world like this...
**[12:45] (Flashback) Arata**
Then I'll become one,
**[12:47] (Flashback) Arata**
no matter how small that possibility is.
**[12:51] Arata**
Anyway... So you're a teacher here, huh?
**[12:55] Arata**
How old are you?
**[12:57] Lilith**
The same age as you.
**[12:59] Lilith**
Also, call me by my name, Lilith.
**[13:02] Lilith**
You're really rude, you know that?
**[13:04] Arata**
Oh, right. Sorry about that.
**[13:07] Lilith**
This is your classroom.
**[13:09] Lilith**
Make sure you greet everyone properly.
**[13:12] Arata**
R-Right.
**[13:15] Lilith**
So this is the new transfer
student, Arata Kasuga.
**[13:20] Arata**
My name is Arata Kasuga.
**[13:22] Arata**
Nice to meet you all.
**[13:24] Selina**
Over here! Question!
**[13:27] Lilith**
Go ahead, Selina-san.
**[13:29] Selina**
What type of girls do you like?
**[13:32] Arata**
Girls with big boobs.
**[13:34] Selina**
Wow, that was straightforward.
**[13:36] Arata**
Though, I could probably love
a girl without boobs, too.
**[13:38] Selina**
And that doesn't do much to smooth it over!
**[13:41] Arata**
Also, she's gotta have a pretty face.
**[13:43] Selina**
So, to be blunt, you're every girl's enemy.
**[13:45] Selina**
Got it.
**[13:48] Lilith**
Do you feel better now?
**[13:50] Lilith**
Then...
**[13:51] Selina**
Excuse me...
**[13:53] Selina**
Is it true that you constructed a new world,
**[13:55] Selina**
something that only someone of
the demon lord class could do?
**[13:58] Arata**
Yeah.
**[13:59] Arata**
Can't anyone do that?
**[14:02] Lilith**
Hey, Arata...
**[14:05] Person A**
He's the real deal!
**[14:06] Person B**
We've got a demon lord candidate here!
**[14:12] Selina**
Extra!
**[14:13] Selina**
The new transfer student possesses
magic on the level of a demon lord!
**[14:18] Selina**
He supposedly constructed
a world on his own, too!
***SIGN*** Royal Biblia Academy Newspaper
***SIGN*** New student is a demon lord candidate!?
**[14:23] Headmaster**
Getting called a demon lord
the day you transfer here, huh?
**[14:26] Lilith**
It's nothing to laugh at, Headmaster.
**[14:28] Lilith**
We couldn't even hold class today because of this.
**[14:31] Arata**
Hey, it sounds cool, so who cares?
**[14:33] Lilith**
You be quiet.
**[14:36] Headmaster**
No, this is interesting.
**[14:38] Headmaster**
I welcome you on behalf of
the school, Arata Kasuga.
**[14:42] Headmaster**
Royal Biblia Academy is a super-secret
organization that educates mages.
**[14:48] Headmaster**
We receive funds from nations
and governments worldwide,
**[14:51] Headmaster**
and we investigate unsolved and
potentially magic-related cases...
**[14:55] Headmaster**
That is what we mages do.
**[14:57] Headmaster**
We're also called Magus.
**[15:00] Arata**
So if I become one of those,
then I can get Hijiri back?
**[15:05] Headmaster**
Who knows?
**[15:08] Headmaster**
Magic allows for all possibilities.
**[15:11] Headmaster**
In other words, whether it's
possible or not is up to you.
**[15:15] Arata**
Is there a shortcut?
**[15:16] Lilith**
Of course not.
**[15:19] Lilith**
Only your effort and discipline can—
**[15:21] Arata**
But...
**[15:22] Arata**
He said magic allows for all possibilities.
**[15:25] Lilith**
That was...
**[15:27] Headmaster**
Yes, I certainly did.
**[15:30] Lilith**
Headmaster!
**[15:31] Headmaster**
What's the problem?
**[15:33] Headmaster**
This school has seven students who
are like boss characters in a game.
**[15:38] Arata**
Boss characters?
**[15:39] Headmaster**
The Trinity Seven.
**[15:42] Headmaster**
That's what they're called.
**[15:45] Headmaster**
Seven girl mages who excel in their own fields.
**[15:48] Headmaster**
Lilith-chan is one of them.
**[15:50] Arata**
Is she?
**[15:52] Arata**
She does have a nice figure.
**[15:53] Lilith**
Wha—
**[15:56] Lilith**
H-How I look is irrelevant.
**[16:00] Headmaster**
Anyway,
**[16:02] Headmaster**
if you get to know the Trinity Seven
and make some of them your pawns,
**[16:06] Headmaster**
you might just figure out what
mages are pretty quickly.
**[16:11] Arata**
I get it.
**[16:12] Lilith**
Don't agree with him!
**[16:15] Lilith**
For goodness' sake...
**[16:17] Lilith**
Don't take him seriously, okay?
**[16:19] Arata**
Seriously, huh?
**[16:28] Levi**
Oh, so you noticed my presence.
**[16:34] Arata**
Amazing.
**[16:35] Arata**
You're a ninja.
**[16:36] Levi**
Cool, right?
**[16:40] Levi**
Nice to meet you, Arata-san.
**[16:42] Levi**
I'm a ninja. The name's Levi Kazama.
**[16:45] Arata**
Huh? You're not a mage?
**[16:47] Levi**
Ninja arts, arts of astrology,
arts of the bedroom...
**[16:50] Levi**
They all fall under magic arts.
**[16:53] Arata**
Arts of the bedroom?
**[16:54] Lilith**
Th-That's none of your business!
**[16:58] Levi**
You're as pure as ever, Lilith-sensei.
**[17:01] Lilith**
A-Anyway,
**[17:03] Lilith**
Levi-san is one of the Trinity Seven.
**[17:06] Arata**
Oh, then you're pretty awesome,
or something, right?
**[17:09] Levi**
Oh, yeah, *really* awesome.
**[17:11] Levi**
I am a ninja, after all.
**[17:14] Levi**
I know everything from assassination
to really sexy ninja techniques.
**[17:18] Lilith**
H-Hey! Hey! Hey!
**[17:22] Levi**
I was just kidding.
**[17:24] Levi**
You're a pretty up-front guy. I find that fun.
**[17:28] Arata**
I'm just acting normal, as far as I can tell...
**[17:31] Lilith**
No, you're definitely weird, Arata.
**[17:34] Arata**
By the way, what are the
other Trinity Seven like?
**[17:37] Lilith**
Huh?
**[17:39] Levi**
Oh, as it happens, they're right there.
**[17:42] Levi**
Looks like they're heading out for
an information control mission.
**[17:45] Levi**
Akio Fudo-san and Mira Yamana-san.
**[17:48] Levi**
In terms of pure ability,
**[17:50] Levi**
Mira-san is said to be more
capable than Lilith-sensei.
**[17:53] Levi**
And Akio-san is unrivaled in
terms of attack capabilities.
**[17:57] Arata**
They're all girls...
**[17:59] Levi**
Magic is the research of
the mind and emotions.
**[18:04] Levi**
So girls are more suited towards it.
**[18:06] Arata**
So it's better to be more emotional?
**[18:08] Arata**
Like being honest with your desires?
**[18:10] Lilith**
Th-That's not right.
**[18:12] Lilith**
You need to show restraint with such things...
**[18:14] Levi**
Look, she's blushing.
**[18:16] Levi**
Turns you on, doesn't it?
**[18:18] Arata**
You know it.
**[18:20] Levi**
Lilith-sensei just loves
to learn more about things.
**[18:23] Arata**
Oh-ho-ho-ho!
**[18:25] Lilith**
Arata!
**[18:30] Arata**
Ow... She's pretty emotional, all right.
**[18:33] Levi**
No, I've never seen Lilith-sensei
having so much fun.
**[18:38] Arata**
Really?
**[18:39] Levi**
She's usually a total ice princess.
**[18:44] Arata**
Really?
**[18:47] Levi**
If she's different with you,
**[18:49] Levi**
then I guess you might just be special.
**[18:56] Arata**
That was a long day.
**[19:00] ---**
Hey, where's my grimoire?
**[19:03] Arata**
Oh, so that's where you were.
**[19:06] Sora**
*You're not surprised?*
**[19:07] Arata**
Well, not after everything that's happened.
**[19:10] Sora**
*Hey, you wanna take a bath?*
**[19:12] Arata**
A bath?
***SIGN*** Men's Bath
**[19:15] Sora**
*There's nothing like a bath when you're tired.*
**[19:18] Arata**
That's true.
**[19:41] Arata**
Hello.
**[19:43] Arin**
Hello.
**[19:53] Arin**
That's not the shampoo.
**[19:56] Arin**
That's the shampoo.
**[20:04] Arin**
Did it get in your eyes?
**[20:05] Arata**
Not that! You're supposed
to go "Eek!" or something!
**[20:08] Arin**
Oh.
**[20:13] Arin**
Eeeeek.
**[20:15] Arata**
Talk about monotone!
**[20:17] Arata**
Huh?
**[20:21] Arata**
You...
**[20:23] Arin**
My bust size is 82C.
**[20:32] Arata**
Thank you for the feast!
**[20:36] Lilith**
Hey, what's the matter, Ara—
**[20:39] Lilith**
Wait... Put on some clothes!
**[20:41] Arata**
Yes! *That's* the right reaction!
**[20:43] Arata**
Lilith, you're spot on.
**[20:47] Arata**
B-But forget that! Hijiri's in there!
**[20:50] Lilith**
Oh, you mean Arin-san, right?
**[20:52] Arata**
You knew about her?
**[20:53] Lilith**
Yes, Arin Kannazuki-san.
**[20:56] Lilith**
She's one of the Trinity Seven, as well.
**[21:00] Arata**
So it's not her, then...
**[21:02] Lilith**
Right. To me, it's Hijiri-san
who looks like Arin-san...
**[21:06] Lilith**
Huh?
**[21:07] Lilith**
Arin-san!
**[21:09] Lilith**
This is the men's bath!
**[21:12] Arin**
I thought it'd be okay,
since there are no men here.
**[21:15] Lilith**
Well, there's one here now!
**[21:17] Arin**
I don't mind.
**[21:19] Lilith**
You should!
**[21:22] Arin**
Oh.
**[21:23] ---**
Eeeeek.
**[21:25] Lilith**
Your timing is all wrong!
**[21:26] Arin**
This is pretty difficult.
**[21:33] Arata**
Hey, grimoire.
**[21:35] Sora**
*That was quite a treat, huh?*
**[21:37] Arata**
Even I ended up taking the straight man's role.
**[21:41] Sora**
* She has the same face, but what's*
* inside is completely different.*
**[21:44] Sora**
*Isn't it good you figured that out, at least?*
**[21:48] Arata**
Yeah,
**[21:49] ---**
but I get the feeling that
Arin is connected to Hijiri.
**[21:56] Arata**
And the Trinity Seven...
**[21:58] Arata**
They're going to be important to me.
**[22:01] Arata**
I get that feeling, too.
**[22:05] Lilith**
Put on some pants!
**[22:07] Arata**
Oh, I forgot.
